NL5 QQ in 3bet Pot, feeling a little bit lost

Blinds: $0.02/$0.05 (9 Players) BN: $4.82
SB: $5.00 (Hero)
BB: $5.40
UTG: $13.28
UTG+1: $8.20
MP: $13.64
MP+1: $5.05
MP+2: $5.05
CO: $5.00
Preflop ($0.07) Hero is SB with Q Q
4 folds, MP+2 raises to $0.15, 2 folds, Hero raises to $0.50, BB folds, MP+2 calls $0.35
Standard.
Flop ($1.05) T K K
Hero checks, MP+2 bets $0.55, Hero calls $0.55
There is not much value in betting. More value in checking and I don't really need to protect.
Is this a wa/wb spot?
As played no other option than check/call
Turn ($2.15) T K K 8
Hero checks, MP+2 checks
Turn is tricky if he bets.
I guess I will check/call again because the board hasn't changed much.
What would be your line with QQ on the turn AND
what would be your line with your range?
River ($2.15) T K K 8 J
Hero checks, MP+2 checks
Valuebetting with my weak perceived range feels bad. So I just check and hope he doesn't bluff me.
Would you check/call QQ here or bet/fold or check/fold?
Final Pot SB wins and shows two pair, Kings and Queens.
SB wins $2.06
Rake is $0.09
YAY I won!

Would like to know how you play your range on dat flop. I guess you need to check some Kx to protect midpairs and have a polar betting range.. am i rite?

I expect to be winning this hand a lot OTR. He rarely has Kx, has some flushes but not all of them, almost never has a straight (because you block them) and has a lot of Tx and Jx. Also he is probably never bluffing on this board with a BXR line so I think we can go for a thin value bet here. Checking is totally fine too. If we check and villain bets, it's very player dependent. It depends on how thin villain will go for value and how many Kx and flush combos they get to the river with. In general, passive players will get to the river with a stronger range than an aggressive villain who will bet the turn with most of his flush draws and Kx.

I think villain bets most of his kings on the turn so I would feel pretty confident when he checks back the turn.
My plan would be to x/c the river

Hand is played fine. We can bet very small otr if we want, but it's possible checking and allowing him to rando bluff us off 10x may make more money. He's more or less capped to Jx otr barring unlikely slowplays.

If you have KJs, It's wawb spot OTF, but with QQ it's not. If we don't have diamonds, I think we can get a value vs smaller PP, AQ, AJs, QJ, Tx. On this spot, we have diamonds and those hands call maximum 2 streets, so I like your checking OTF.
